About this game

Binary Land is an action, puzzle, and strategy game released in 1983. You guide one of two penguins through top-down vertical levels while the other mirrors your movements in the opposite direction.

The penguins begin on opposite sides of each stage, separated by walls, bricks, enemies, and other obstacles. To complete a level, both must reach the top square at the same time from opposite sides. Spiders can block routes with webs or attack, while defeated enemies provide points. Randomly appearing power-ups can assist your progress, but you must also finish before time runs out.
